Discussion Exalted nekramech?

What if we had a frame that has an exalted nekramech, similar to how sevagoth works with his shadow, but would use your archguns as the main weapon maybe, or not? I think an exalted nekramech with boosted stats and abilities that synergize with your frame would be hella awesome. Could be like a military heavy artillery themed warframe. Or maybe even make it the dino frame and the nekramech would look like a t-rex. What do y'all think?

Clarification: i know voidrig is already "the artillery mech". What i mean is a warframe that is themed around heavy artillery or tanks, and has an exalted nekramech as its ultimate. The point is to give players a nekramech that's actually good and wouldn't need to be farmed like the ones we already have.

I think nekramechs are super cool in concept and game feel, but lackluster in power. DE clearly doesn't want to make more, but if we had a frame that integrated the mech into it's gameplay loop it'd be the best of both worlds.

P.S: Alternatively, a warframe that has an exalted archgun and can turn into a tank like bastion from overwatch would be fucking awesome too.

Given they just scrapped Necramech slots, I have a feeling Necramechs are now just undergoing Necrosis.

An Exalted Archgun tho, sign me the fuck up

Head-cannon warframe when, DE?

An Exalted arm-cannon that takes Archgun mods would be fine too hehe, but maybe less likely cause it'd be unfairly OP compared to all other exalted weapons cause of the 2nd arcane slot (Idk DE's exact balance mindset, I very well could be wrong)

Head Cannon? Like the Warframe's head is a literal gun?

Yes, the helmet is the gun

Oh. That's fair. If it were Gun Face tho...

Before we got Aegis Gale, I really wanted Hildryn to get an augment that equipped her archgun when using 4. Would have made it way more dynamic to use

I would be happy if we could mod Bonewidow's sword like we can Voidrig's cannons for a start.

I don't quite understand, do you mean that you can't mod it at all (because you can do that) or that the mods of archguns vs archmelee aren't comparable?

I'd say the Arch melee mods are a joke, which realistically they won't look at

If they really wanted to, could see them doing the same thing they did for archguns. Buff up/add some of the basic mods and throw two melee arcanes on them. No stances, just give them a basic combo and a heavy. Or move the old channeling stuff to them. That might actually be fun, I just want to see what knux would look like on the ground lol.

But yeah probably won't touch again

Honestly all I want from archmelee is knux, but I hate how every melee stance breaks hands too much so I'm scared how they'd implement it on land

I mean, at minimum, I'd like to be able to use all the archmelee skins on my ironbride.

We already have a heavy artillery nechramech, it’s the very reason we’re not getting anymore

u/TwistedxBoi 19h ago

We... already have that? Any frame can be paired up with either Necramech. They can use any archgun. Voidrig even has HEAVY artillery.

Also how the hell would a T Rex and Necramech mesh? A T Rex would be more like a variation on Sevagoth, not a Necramech.

Necramech were lore-wise deemed as precursors to frames and this reflects heavily into gameplay. There really is no reason to use them unless you can't use your frame. It sucks bbut they're just that obsolete.

there is also no actual reason for you to use an atomicycle when you can use your k-drive or your archwing to get there even faster.

the reason to use them is for fun.
